After all, though the Scots language is likely to die in Ulster if subject to separate development in the manner seen hitherto, in Scotland the loss of 'a daimen icker in a thrave' would see it only slightly diminished.
"The Ballad of Technofear" propels the poet into cyberspace; a time will come he says when "naebody'll log in / on Scotslit but the profs, / and at the first daimen icker / the thrave'll be flogged off, / timor computeris conturbat me." But of course he has beaten technology at its own game here by inserting a phrase from Burns's "To a Mouse" and has also incorporated the final line of each stanza of William Dunbar's masterpiece, "Lament for the Makars." The line is repeated in Dunbar; in Herbert there are variations such as "timor Microsoft conturbat me."
